Penelope Ann Miller has joined Jessica Simpson in the cast of "Blonde Ambition," a loose remake of the 1988 film "Working Girl." Also cast in the film are Luke Wilson, Andy Dick, Rachael Leigh Cook and Jamie Kennedy. Scott Marshall ("Keeping Up with the Steins") is directing. Miller is playing the conniving boss of Simpson’s character, who is making her way through the corporate world. In the film, the roles were played, respectively, by Sigourney Weaver and Melanie Griffith. Sony Pictures is in talks to distribute the film, though whether it gets a theatrical release or goes straight to DVD has yet to be determined.

Funny part when I read that Penelope Ann Miller was cast as the boss I said to myself this movie is going straight to DVD. Then I read a little further and looks like it might. I just have a feeling this movie is so bad that it is just going to go straight to DVD, don’t you?
